Cheese Meatloaf with Brown Sugar Glaze

I thought I would put a different spin to Meatloaf by adding chopped green chilies to the recipe and finishing with a brown sugar and ketchup glaze. We had it for dinner tonight with garlic mashed potatoes and peas. It must have been good! Everyone had seconds!

In a large bowl, mix meat together with all ingredients. Except for ketchup and brown sugar. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste. Mix well. In a separate bowl, microwave the ketchup and brown sugar. Stir together before microwaving, then microwave on high for one minute. Stir well. Set aside.

Set oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf. Place in pan and bake 60-70 minutes. About 30 minutes before it's done, generously coat with glaze mixture. Bake for 30 minutes then remove from oven. Let it rest 10 minutes before serving.
